The Lakers did REALLY well at the deadline. Really, really well.

They got better dudes at a low cost, no question.


But it moved the needle from probably no play in to probably in the play in and that's about it. Surprised at this KoC take.

I'd bet virtually anything that they don't win a title this season, there is no chance of that.

They still have a good bit of work to do just to get to the play in, that's not remotely a lock. They're not likely to get to a 7th seed, so then they have to win 2 straight games just to make the playoffs.

All in all, they're going nowhere this season. Nothing has changed in that regard. Only thing that changed is that Pels pick probably isn't looking quite as good as it did 2 days ago.

All of this. Even if they manage to somehow get into the playoffs, they aren't winning a first round series.

absolutely do not think they can beat any team in a series.


quote:

You should be asking if they can even make the play in, because even that isn't likely.




quote:

and they have zero chance to win a title, they are not a "true contender" as KoC says.



quote:

They went from a team with zero title chance to a team with zero title chances



quote:

clearly not a threat in the West because they now have DLo/Vanderbilt/Beasley/Bamba.




quote:

What is the legit % chance they make the playoffs? It's wayyyyyyy below 50%.
